工字鋼也稱為鋼梁（英文名稱 I Beam)，是截面為工字形狀的長條鋼材。工字鋼分普通工字鋼和輕型工字鋼，H型鋼三種。工字鋼廣泛用于各種建筑結構、橋梁、車輛、支架、機械等。

I-steel beam (also known as English name I Beam), is an H-shaped steel strip section. I-steel is divided into three kinds: ordinary I-steel and light I-steel, H type steel. I-steel is widely used in various architectural structures, bridges, vehicles, stents, machinery and so on.

型材按生產(chǎn)方法可以分成熱軋型材、冷彎型材、冷軋型材、冷拔型材、擠壓型材、鍛壓型材、熱彎型材、焊接型材和特殊軋制型材等。I-steelisdividedintothreekinds:ordinaryI-steelandlightI-steel,Htypesteel。型材按其橫斷面形狀可分成簡單斷面型材和復雜斷面型材。簡單斷面型材的橫斷面對稱、外形比較均勻、簡單，如圓鋼、線材、方鋼和扃鋼等。復雜斷面型材又稱為異型斷面型材，其特征是橫斷面具有明顯凸凹分支。

薄板的寬度為500~1500毫米；厚的寬度為600~3000毫米。薄板按鋼種分，有普通鋼、鋼、合金鋼、不銹鋼、工具鋼、耐熱鋼、軸承鋼、硅鋼和工業(yè)純鐵薄板等。

The width of the thin plate is 500~1500 mm, and the thickness is 600~3000 mm. The sheet is divided by steel, including ordinary steel, high quality steel, alloy steel, spring steel, stainless steel, tool steel, heat resistant steel, bearing steel, silicon steel and industrial pure iron sheet.

按專業(yè)用途分，有油桶用板、搪瓷用板、彈板用板等；按表面涂鍍層分，有鍍鋅薄板、鍍錫薄板、鍍鉛薄板、塑料復合鋼板等。

According to professional use, there are oil  board, enamel plate, bulletproof plate and so on. According to surface coating, there are galvanized sheet, tin plate, leaded sheet, plastic  steel plate and so on.
